Synopsis:

The Needle began as a film-school project for aspiring director Rashid Nugmanov. The film stars popular rock singer Viktor Tsoy, here cast as Moro, a young man with a mission. Reunited with his former lover Dina (Marina Smirnova), Moro discovers that the woman has become a prostitute and dope addict. He devotes his life to rescuing Dina from her sordid lifestyle.

Moro returns to Alma Ata to collect money owed to him. While waiting out an unexpected delay, he visits his former girlfriend Dina, and discovers she has become a morphine addict. He decides to help her kick the habit and to fight the local drug maphia responsible for her condition. But Moro finds a deadly opponent in 'the doctor,' the maphia kingpin who is exploiting Dina.

Drama about the drug scene in the Soviet Union, the story centering around a group of young people there.
